Our first weekend of December was a busy one! We spent most of Saturday up at Spring Haven with our Nielson family. It was wonderful to see everyone and we had a special Christmas party planned around what would have been Grandpa Nielson's 100th birthday and Grandma's 96th birthday.
Our kids were happy their cousins came!
Adam worked on his pool skills.
Caleb never left the playground.
Angel and Zeke had quite the game of ping pong!
We got to watch a special slide show of Grandpa Nielson
Cute Grandma watching all the pictures of Grandpa.
Caleb discovered the big kid games...
A Grandpa Nielson scavenger hunt!
There were several games for the kids to play that Grandpa Nielson would have played when he was a kid. Bingo, Jacks, Marbles, etc. The kids loved it and killed it in Jacks, thanks to Ma teaching them how to play this summer.
Daddy and Clint chatting about life...
Singing Happy Birthday to Grandma, who sang "And not many more!!!"
I was glad to get a picture of this, since it's the favorite toy!
We rushed home from Spring Haven and headed to our ward Christmas party where the kids got to have a pajama parade.
Gwennie and Jade. These 2 sunbeams are trouble. Especially when they see each other in Sacrament meeting.
Sunday we drove up to Ogden to see the Halvorson side of the family. Aunt Noni was in town, so we were glad to be able to see her. Tessa loves her grandparents. She was the first one to find Grandma Nielson on Saturday and she wouldn't stop hugging Gammy. I finally had to tell her to give Gammy some space.
More happy cousins and lots of catching up for all the older cousins.
It was a crazy, exhausting weekend, but were glad to see so much family!
